1212+1313+## 🚀 Project Structure
1414+1515+Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
1616+1717+```text
1818+/
1919+├── public/
2020+├── src/
2121+│ └── pages/
2222+│ └── index.astro
2323+└── package.json
2424+```
2525+2626+Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
2727+2828+There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
2929+3030+Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
